[0020] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0022] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The structure of the device body is as follows: a flange 5 transfer device, including a base plate 1, which is made of high-strength Q235 steel plate to ensure that no significant deformation occurs when bearing heavy flange 5; four heavy-duty universal wheels 4 are evenly distributed on the lower part of the base plate 1, preferably polyurethane wheels with a diameter of more than 100mm, which have a brake locking function to ensure flexible movement and provide sufficient braking capacity when fixed in position.

[0024] Multiple limiting components 3 are evenly distributed on the upper part of the base plate 1. Each limiting component 3 consists of a column 31, a pair of movable limiting plates 33, and a driving component. The column 31 has a cuboid cross-section, preferably made of 80×50mm square tubing to ensure rigidity and stability. The limiting plates 33 are arc-shaped plates with a thickness of 5-8mm, and are covered with a wear-resistant rubber pad to increase friction and prevent scratches from direct contact with the metal flange 5. The lower part of the limiting plate 33 is attached to the upper surface of the base plate 1 to form a stable support surface. The limiting plates 33 are connected to the column 31 by a cylinder 32. The cylinder 32 is a double-acting cylinder with a diameter of 40-50mm and a stroke of 100-150mm. One end is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 33, and the other end is fixedly connected to the column 31. It can drive the limiting plates 33 to move inward or outward to adapt to flanges 5 of different diameters. The adjustment process can be completed in a few seconds, greatly improving work efficiency. To achieve high-precision positioning, an infrared ranging sensor 34 is installed on the outside of each limit plate 33, with a measurement accuracy of ±2mm. The control system can detect the distance between the flange 5 and the limit plate 33 in real time, thereby achieving automatic positioning and limiting.

[0025] The upper part of the base plate 1 is provided with a protective pad 6 at the corresponding position of each limiting component 3. The protective pad 6 is made of high-density rubber or polyurethane material to cushion the weight impact of the flange 5 and prevent scratches on the surface of the base plate 1. The perimeter of the base plate 1 is provided with a steel railing 2 to prevent the flange 5 from accidentally slipping out during transportation.

[0026] The control method of this utility model is through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] In use, the operator first moves the limiting plates 33 by controlling the cylinder 32 to move them according to the inner diameter of the flange 5 to be moved, so that the distance between the limiting plates 33 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the flange 5. After the distance is adjusted to the appropriate position, the flange 5 is vertically stacked and passed through the limiting assembly 3, so that the inner ring of the flange 5 fits into the clamping area formed by the limiting plates 33. Then, the operator drives the limiting plates 33 to tighten inward by the reverse action of the cylinder 32, so that the arc-shaped outer edge of the limiting plates 33 abuts against the inner wall of the flange 5, forming a multi-point contact clamping state; the infrared distance sensor 34 detects the distance between the limiting plates 33 in real time during this process to ensure that the clamping size is accurately matched with the inner diameter, thereby avoiding clamping that is too loose or too tight. After clamping is completed, the operator pushes the universal wheels 4 at the bottom of the base plate 1 to move the device together with the flange 5 to the target position.

[0029] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "one" and "two" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, the phrase "comprising an element defined as..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
